Set up and use Microsoft Presenter+

To customize the Back and Next buttons on Microsoft Presenter+ 

By default, you can press the Back and Next buttons to go back one slide or go to the next one during a presentation using PowerPoint Live in Microsoft Teams. However, you can customize these buttons to do different actions when you press or press and hold. 

For example, here’s some of the things you can use the Back and Next buttons for if you customize them: 

• Adjust the volume on your PC.

• Start a presentation.

• Show a blank PowerPoint slide with a white background or black background.

• Turn video on and off in Microsoft Teams.

• Use a keyboard shortcut in Windows

Here’s how to customize the Back and Next buttons: 

1. In Microsoft Accessory Center, select Microsoft Presenter+ > Presentation controls.

2. Under Previous and Next buttons, select one or more of the following actions:

   • Previous and Next buttons: press 

   • Previous button: press and hold 

   • Next button: press and hold 

3. On the next screen, select what you want the Back or Next button to do for that specific action.

4. (Optional) If you select Keystroke, on the Keystroke screen, press the keyboard shortcut you want to use when you press and hold the Back or Next button. 
   
   For example, the keyboard shortcut to open the Settings app on your Windows 10/11 PC is Windows logo key  + I. If you want to open Settings by pressing and holding the Back or Next button on Microsoft Presenter+, select the box on the Keystroke screen, press Windows logo key + I, then select Apply. After that, press and hold the Back or Next button (whichever one you chose) to try it out.

Tactile signals provide a short vibration for your Microsoft Presenter+ to let you know when something happens. For example, when a Microsoft Teams meeting starts, when you mute or unmute, when raise your hand or lower it in a Teams meeting, and more.  

1. In Microsoft Accessory Center, select Microsoft Presenter+ > Tactile signals.

2. To change the intensity of the signal, drag the slider.
